Intermittent start...? C70

Alright...it did it again...

This time I was driving it...parked it...came back about 30 minutes later...started it and it stalled...? On second attempt...RPM's went to about 11-1200...and was idling a little rough...then stalled... Subsequent three attmepts to start were unsucessful...and sounded like there was no spark / igniton...as the engine cranked very well...? We waited (by shopping in another store) about 15-20 minutes...and it started without problems...!?!?!?

I did notice that after it started that the idle was slightly rough...with no visible indication on the tach...almost as if there was water in the fuel...?

I use STP fuel additive to remove water from the fuel lines earlier in the winter...and about every six months I add STP fuel injector / system cleaner... When I use both I top off with premium fuel...?

Has anyone experienced any symptons similar to this...?

Last service I had was the software upgrade for the ETS... I'm wondering if the "upgraded" software doesn't have a glitch...? The old software with the new ETS didn't have any problems...

There are no CEL's...?

Another question I have is related to the incident itself..the stalling...is any data recorded in non-volitile memory that may be accessed for diagnostics?

In advance...thanks for any assistance
